Ars Technica Review: Digger Film a Commercial Disappointment
A review by Ars Technica reveals that the film Digger, starring Tom Cruise and directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, has failed commercially.
Alejandro G. Iñárritu's latest film, Digger, starring Tom Cruise, has proven to be a significant commercial disappointment, according to a review from Ars Technica.
The film, which marks the first English-language feature from the four-time Oscar-winning director since 2015's The Revenant, was anticipated to be a success, particularly given Cruise's nearly unrecognizable performance and a trailer evoking "Doctor Strangelove" vibes. The production reportedly carried a budget of $125 million, possibly more.
Digger grossed only approximately $20 million globally during its opening weekend. The film has sharply divided critics and audiences, with some praising Iñárritu's bold creative choices and others finding the movie nearly unwatchable.
The review concludes that despite initial intrigue and high expectations, Digger is on track to become one of the year's biggest box office bombs.
